Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $173.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $137.75 You Save: $35.25 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $149.98
My college bookstore wanted this book for $185.00, I paid $137 on Amazon. This book also comes with a CD (student access kit). Amazon will continue to get my business when it comes to textbooks, if the price is right.

2.The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by: Michael Pollan August 28, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.60 You Save: $6.40 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $7.88
A very interesting book which fairly considers, defends and challenges all eating habits from vegans to junk-food junkies. Micheal Pollan does an excellent job of tracking down the history of food laws & policies in the U.S. and revealing how that history impacts our national eating habits today. Most of all I liked the ending, which wasn't doom and gloom but rather a positive recounting of the author's own completley home-made meal. He seemed to really challenge himself, and ultimately enjoy himself, while writing this book.

3.My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey by: Jill Bolte Taylor May 14, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.75
The book, 'My Stroke of Insight' by Jill Bolte Taylor is a remarkable read. It contains information everyone should know who might sit with or care for a stroke victim or anyone suffering from a brain injury. The chapter, 'Simple Science' is like taking a course in 'The Brain 101' as we are given a look at the workings of an organ that defines who we are. I recommend this book to the inquisitive and to inquiring minds. Billy R. Boggs A Critical Reader

4.Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science) by: Frank H. Netter June 26, 2006

From what I have been able to gather online from the publisher (Elsevier), the Professional Edition is the only one that is supposed to come with the CD, which is purported to contain "over 80 of the most important anatomy illustrations from the book to use in presentations and lectures." View the differences between the editions: Professional 4th Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781416036999 Soft Cover 4th Edition: http://www.us.elsevierhealth.com/product.jsp?isbn=9781416033851 It seems to be $60 more (at least, depending on where you look) for just for the CD (and the Hardcover opposed to the Soft Cover). The Professional Edition is more like a Reference book for a library, but hey maybe you need that. The 4th Ed. Soft ... Read More

I bought this book because I give massages and find it a very helpful guide in therapeutic massage. I refer to it all the time for more than massage-- understanding injuries and health conditions in general. A must for the curious.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805350861/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

6.Biology by: Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece December 23, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $169.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $117.11 You Save: $51.89 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $30.00
The book was nicely packaged in bubble wrap to prevent damages. The book itself was presented in a used, but very good condition for such a cheap price. In the end, I highly recommend!

7.Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry by: David L. Nelson, Michael M. Cox February 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $130.79 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $106.89
As a physics graduate student interested in biophysics research, I found this text an invaluable resource. I had intro chemistry as an undergrad and AP bio in high school, but no organic chemistry or any other background. This text contained a clear introduction to biochemistry and described a lot of the techniques I was reading about in scientific papers in language that a non-chemist could understand. I still refer back to it frequently.

8.Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster) by: Mark Gladwin, Bill Trattler February 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $32.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $24.26 You Save: $8.69 (26%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $24.00
I've heard a lot of people talk about how good this book is so I decided to give it a try. I read the first 10 pages and wavered between finding parts of the book funny and annoying. By the end of it, the only thing I remembered was a rather bad joke and a picture of a bacterium wearing sunglasses. If that helps some people learn, then that's great. However, I failed to learn anything from the random jokes and poorly drawn pictures.

9.The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by: Leonard Mlodinow May 13, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.89
It is always a pleasure to find an author who can write about complex issues and make the writing lucid and entertaining! Leonard does just this. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the forces which influence our lives...
